Halloween-inspired horror movies are a dime a dozen, but some filmmakers go all in and put All Hallows’ Eve (or Hallows Eve) right in the title. Over the years, this has resulted in a surprisingly large collection of low-budget slashers, anthologies, and indie horror gems—some great, some terrible, and some that are “so bad they’re fun.”
Below is a complete rundown of horror films with All Hallows’ Eve (or close variations) in the title, along with brief reviews and thoughts from a Halloween horror collector’s perspective.
All Hallows’ Eve (aka Tales of All Hallows’ Eve) (2007)
All Hallows' Eve (2007) Trailer:
Watch the film at TubiTV.com. The title is slightly changed to Tales of All Hallows' Eve, probably to avoid from being confused with other films on this list.
October 31st begins like any other day—until night falls. A group of friends gathers to share twisted and terrifying stories, but as the tales unfold, something darker begins to surface within the group itself.
I own this one on DVD and honestly expected to be disappointed. Instead, I enjoyed the twists, and at only 73 minutes, it’s short and sweet. If you can tolerate low-budget horror, this one is worth a look.
Hallows Eve: Slaughter on Second Street (2008)
Hallows Eve: Slaughter on Second Street (2008) Trailer:
Watch Hallows Eve: Slaughter on Second Street (2008) full film below or at YouTube:
Days before the opening of Owensboro’s premiere haunted attraction, tragedy strikes. When rumors begin circulating that the attraction may actually be haunted, paranormal investigators are brought in to prove it—or disprove it. Locked inside overnight, they soon realize the building’s history is far darker than expected.
Yes, it’s full of horror clichés and sometimes silly dialogue, but it’s also a lot of fun. I especially loved the Scooby-Doo references. This was producer P.J. Starks’ first feature-length film before he made the Volumes of Blood trilogy and his many other holiday horror films.
All Hallows Eve (aka HalloweeNight) (2009)
All Hallows Eve (aka HalloweeNight) (2009) Trailer:
A college Halloween party becomes the setting for revenge as a mistreated student uses his Frankenstein-like creation of a pumpkin-headed scarecrow to carry out his murderous plans. Only one student, Trix, stands between him and a full-blown massacre.
I own this on DVD under the title HalloweeNight. The acting is bad, but the cheesy effects and Halloween atmosphere make it entertaining. Tons of great Halloween scenes.
All Hallows Evil: Lord of the Harvest (2012)
All Hallows Evil: Lord of the Harvest (2012) Trailer:

Watch All Hallows Evil: Lord of the Harvest (2012) at YouTube:
The town of Hallowed Hill is known as the Halloween capital of the world, but 200 years ago, a witch unleashed an ancient evil on All Hallows’ Eve. Though the townspeople stopped it once, the evil is accidentally released again when a young girl discovers a forbidden pagan book.
I have this on Blu-ray and absolutely love it—great story, fantastic makeup and masks, strong effects, and excellent Halloween decorations. Kenny Caperton appears, along with The Myers House NC. This is easily one of the best films on this list.
All Hallows’ Eve (2013)
All Hallows' Eve (2013) Trailer:
https://www.facebook.com/allhallowsevemovie/
While babysitting on Halloween night, a woman discovers an old VHS tape containing three terrifying tales, all connected by a murderous clown. As the night progresses, the line between the tape and reality begins to blur.
This gory anthology introduced Art the Clown, who would later become iconic in the Terrifier series of films. A twisted and memorable Halloween watch.
All Hallows’ Eve 2 (2015)
All Hallows' Eve 2 (2015) Trailer:
Another mysterious VHS tape appears on Halloween night, acting as a gateway for a sinister pumpkin-faced killer who wants only one treat—blood.
Art the Clown does not return, and while the anthology includes eight short films, it’s not as strong or as gory as the first. Only two shorts (plus the wraparound) actually take place on Halloween, which was a missed opportunity.
All Hallows’ Eve: Trickster (2023)
All Hallows’ Eve: Trickster (2023) Trailer:
Third and fourth installments in the franchise arrived in October 2023 and October 2024 respectively, featuring a collection of short films curated by Terrifier 2 producer Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton and Horrible Imaginings Film Festival director Miguel Rodriguez.
Low budget segments from upcoming filmmakers that are hit or miss, but somewhat entertaining. Most don't even take place on Halloween.
All Hallows’ Eve: Inferno (2024)
All Hallows’ Eve: Trickster (2024) Inferno:
Hallows’ Eve (2013)
Hallows' Eve (2013) Trailer:
https://www.facebook.com/Hallowsevemovie
Years after a tragic accident scars a young child for life, those responsible begin paying for their actions—with their lives.
A decent low-budget slasher set in a haunted amusement park, featuring Danielle Harris in a small role.
All Hallow’s Evil (2014) (short film)
All Hallow's Evil (2014) Official Trailer:
Watch All Hallow's Evil (2014) full short below or at YouTube:
A short anthology set on Halloween night, when the barrier between the living and the dead is thin—and evil has the most fun.
The audio quality isn’t great, but this is an enjoyable short film packed with witches, an evil clown, a Halloween party, found footage, and plenty of horror homages (Evil Dead, Scream, Halloween, and more).
All Hallows Eve: October 30th (2015)
All Hallows Eve: October 30th (2015) Trailer:
http://www.october30thfilm.com/
https://www.facebook.com/October30thFilm
Twenty years after a family was terrorized near Pearl Lake, a group sets out to make a horror film based on the events—only to discover things aren’t quite what they seem.
Awful story, bad acting, and barely any Halloween atmosphere. Originally intended as the first part of a trilogy, but if the sequels ever happen, I’d still give them a chance.
3 All Hallows Eve: The Dead Have Stories to Tell (aka Voices from the Grave) (2014)
3 All Hallows Eve: The Dead Have Stories to Tell (2014) Trailer:
https://www.facebook.com/Voices-From-The-Grave-181405091900187/
Watch 3 All Hallows Eve full film below or at YouTube:
Three supernatural tales involving vengeful spirits, demons, and revenge from beyond the grave. One story is adapted from the work of The Howling author Gary Brandner.
I own this on DVD under the title Voices from the Grave (2014). It’s an okay low-budget anthology, though only one segment actually takes place on Halloween.
Hallows Eve (2016)
Hallows Eve (2016) Trailer:
https://www.facebook.com/hallowsevethemovieUK/
Watch Hallows Eve (2016) full film below or at YouTube:
Strange graffiti and threats appear around a UK housing estate warning that the streets will be taken over on Halloween night. When a local gang ignores the curfew, they discover something far worse is lurking.
This leans more toward crime than horror. UK-set and fairly forgettable.
All Hallows’ Eve Horror (2017)
All Hallows' Eve Horror (2017) Trailer:
Website: https://glamboyproductions.vhx.tv/products/all-hallows-eve-horror
A group of friends throws a Halloween party in a supposedly haunted house—where a family was once murdered. Unsurprisingly, things go very wrong.
The trailer is awful, and sadly, so is the movie. Skip this one.
The Curse of All Hallows’ Eve (2017)
The Curse of All Hallows' Eve (2017) Official Trailer:
https://www.facebook.com/ahe2014/
Set in 1457, a secret society performs human sacrifices to appease the god Samhain.
Another terrible trailer, and a release date is hard to find. Not promising.
The Terror of Hallow’s Eve (2017)
The Terror of Hallow's Eve (2017) Trailer:
https://www.facebook.com/terrorhallowseve/
Watch The Terror of Hallow's Eve (2017) full film at YouTube:
After a bullied teenager wishes for revenge, his desire unleashes a terrifying force tied to Halloween itself.
This is easily one of the best films on the list—second only to All Hallows Evil: Lord of the Harvest, in my opinion. Strong effects, solid acting, and a great story make this one highly recommended.
Final Thoughts
If you’re a Halloween horror completist—or just love low-budget indie scares—films with All Hallows’ Eve in the title offer a wild mix of quality, creativity, and chaos. While not all are winners, a few stand out as essential Halloween-night viewing.
